Vodacom Premier League: The Final Sprint


The penultimate round of the 2011/12 Vodacom Premier League season will take place tomorrow with a full round of fixtures.

With the title race already wrapped up after Lesotho Correctional Services’ (LCS) win over Joy last weekend, the pick of the weekend ties is the clash between rivals Matlama and Lioli which will be played at the Setsoto Stadium.

Matlama and Lioli meet again...
Apart from the searing rivalry between the two teams, the match has great significance in the race for a top four spot. Matlama currently hold the last of those spots, in fourth, with 31 points – four ahead of Lioli.

Another side in the hunt for a top four place is Mafeteng’s Bantu. A MatÅ¡o Matebele travel to the capital Maseru to face LMPS at the PTC Ground. Bantu are third in the league with 31 points and can still finish second.

The side currently in second is LDF. Sohle-Sohle have guaranteed a top four place but they can still be pipped to second spot by Bantu or Matlama if they slip up in their final two games. Tomorrow they host already relegated Majantja at Ratjomose.

Speaking of relegation; two former champions, Linare and Likhopo, meet in Hlotse still yet to be a hundred percent sure of their survival. It means tomorrow’s match is must-win – and a victory for Tse Tala though would see them clinch safety.

Joy and Mpharane Celtics are two more sides that have the relegation axe hovering over their heads. The two Leribe sides both have 23 points, just three above the drop zone, making tomorrow’s clash at the Leribe Pitso Ground a proverbial six-pointer.

Finally, champions LCS will be presented with their league trophy when they host Maduma at their LCS Stadium. Maduma will be desperate to spoil the party though. Maduma, after a roaring start to the season, find themselves stuck in the second relegation spot, two points from. Nothing less than a win will do.

    intelligent. You realize thus significantly in relation to this topic, made
    me in my view imagine it from numerous varied angles.
    Its like men and women are not interested unless it is one thing to do with Girl gaga!
    Your own stuffs excellent. At all times deal with it up!

  7. I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming having
    a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% certain. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
